I run a few groups, like @[email protected], mostly on Friendica. It’s okay, but Friendica resembles Facebook Groups more than Reddit. I also like the moderation options that Lemmy has.
Currently, I’m testing jerboa, which is an Android client for Lemmy. It’s in alpha, has a few hiccups, but it’s coming along nicely.
Personally, I hope the #RedditMigration spurs adoption of more Fediverse server software. And I hope Mastodon users continue to interact with Lemmy and Kbin.
All that said, as a mod of a Reddit community (r/Sizz) I somewhat regret giving Reddit all that content. They have nerve charging so much for API access!
Hopefully, we can build a better version of social media that focuses on protocols, not platforms.
I see some on my communities list with no local subscribers, so I think you only have to connect the instance, not every community within it.
I’m new, though, and know nothing about relay servers.
My understanding is as long as any user from your instance subscribed to any community from anothet instance, then it will become federated with yours
That was my understanding too.

Ah. You sound like you’ve looked at the code, can you say if there’s some sort of admin command to sync a whole instance?

Yeah, that would work. Paging @[email protected], who started this discussion and who does self-host. To save you a click, here’s the libraries you could use for that.
